If you follow a m/f pairing you will discover that a lot of people who do write womenā€¦ also do not like them.
like its not that serious etc but any time u express frustration or just point out wow people in fandom continuously prioritize men over women Here comes the fucking misogyny hydra

This, contrasted with my previous posts about Cody-Wan, and the differences between Reddit and Tumblr.
I was Googling for The Clone Wars quote in this Reddit thread (I have a silly idea). The topic veered into female Clones, in a way that has aged like fine bananas. OK, the thread is four years old. And we still don't know why the Kaminoans made Omega or Emerie. One assumes it was not to be sex drones for the men. šŸ¤®
On a personal note, I'm very content that I found this corner of the Star Wars fandom here on Tumblr.

PERSONA REDESIGN, DON'T LIKE, DON'T INTERACT.
Me being a feminist killjoy obviously hates how Ann is portrayed when she could've been an awesome message to fem fans of persona.
So a while ago, I tried my hand at redesigning her into a character that looked like an actual woman rather than a sex symbol (was seriously stupid to make the victim of harassment into the dumb porn bait, which mind you, I don't mind, but seriously? She was victim, that's just tone deaf)
Tumblr media
Like, I don't claim it to be perfect, maybe will go in and dull the pinks, add more gadgets or whatever.
I just think that if they wanted to make a character like her, they should've avoided the male gaze.

i remember at the outbreak of the russia ukraine war while european media went full well these are white christians ofc we'll take them in its not the uncivilized middle easterners, while african and even indian students couldn't cross the border into poland their was this absolutely bizzare left liberal position of deeming it gauche to talk about racism at all. yeah it is racism sure but have you considered it necessary to cede your energy to the cause de jour, and problematising is bad form and impolite?

posting this on my personal sideblog because i don't want to get reamed but i........did not really enjoy the barbie movie as much as most people i know lol! i actually found myself disagreeing with a lot of its gender politics & message and the longer i unpack it the more annoyed i am. which by itself would be whatever, it's a barbie movie, but the fact that i've seen it lauded so much as So Progressive in the media is both depressing and concerning

okay here is my review of the barbie movie: (alison bechdelā€™s mother voice) it does not cohere. iā€™m kind of offended that i feel the need to expend more thought and energy on understanding it than that, but here we are.
i think the most prominent idea that stands out to me is the interaction between sentiment and doll play (ie an affect studies reading). because there are some facets that play together in interesting ways:
ā€” the centring of emotion as part of a political project (see the lawyer at the beginning saying that she doesnā€™t feel the need to separate her emotion from her reason and that this makes her more powerful - emotional gestures affording material power). cf the role of emotion in theories of dolls and childrenā€™s culture: the idea of dolls training girls in emotional gestures, something that historically both confines white women to a subordinated position in a domestic sphere *and* gives them a position of racialised power (robin bernstein talks about how historically american dolls positioned young white girls not as a mother, but as a *mistress*).
ā€” the idea of emotion as a virus that can contaminate a body and/or a body politic. gloriaā€™s emotions seeping into barbie and rendering her ā€œdefectiveā€, physically and internally. patriarchal gestures as a literal virus against which barbies and kens in their fantasy land have no resistance (signalled via the infamous Indigenous peoples and smallpox line).
ā€” critical responses to the movie being dominated by emotion and a sense of belonging / representation politics. ā€œi felt seen by a movie for the first timeā€; ā€œmen wouldnā€™t get it because itā€™s not for them, it understands *me*, and critics who donā€™t feel an emotional sense of belonging and connection to it donā€™t have an epistemological right to comment on itā€
then we have the discursive appeals to reality and authenticity. the central meaning most people in the (very bleak) tag seem to take from the movie is that gender roles are performative (which plays with the movie interpreting ā€˜typesā€™ of barbies as a kind of aesthetic gestus, a gestus of being rather than of doing) - and that the *solution* to the problem of performative gender roles is to be your authentic self - which crucially involves letting yourself ā€˜feelā€™ your emotions, rather than trying to mediate them. kenā€™s arc is based on him ā€˜acting outā€™ because he canā€™t properly process his emotions about barbie not liking him; his solution at the end is to properly and openly process these emotions, to acknowledge them as real rather than trying to hide or sublimate them. (the ken war is silly and doesnā€™t solve anything; barbie and kenā€™s ending conversation is real and does solve things.) see also the fact that feeling ā€˜realā€™, complex emotions as part of barbieā€™s journey to becoming human, the maker rather than the made thing - kind of aligning with elaine scarry in the idea that humans make things to deal with and ameliorate scary or complicated emotions, crucially substituting emotional pain for scarryā€™s physical pain. (but becoming a real human woman at the end is also physical and embodied - see the other infamous line about the gynaecologist.)
i donā€™tā€¦.really know where iā€™m going with any of this, and like i said i donā€™t feel it would be a particularly productive use of my time to try and assemble a proper reading. butā€¦..something something american tradition of sentimentalism and emotional cohesion vs troubled or unsettled or uncaring emotional responses. (something something i am still, somehow, expected to *care* about ken. something something i somehow still feel like iā€™m being trained in emotional gestures of womanhood.) something something unfortunately for greta gerwig i believe the only way to meaningfully comment on barbie is a two-hour lesbian sex scene between gloria and barbie heavy on the power play. idk.

sara ahmed is doing a ā€˜travelling with feminist killjoysā€™ talk for my school today and i am literally so excited iā€™ve had to read so many readings from queer phenomenology over the years. i really respect sara ahmed, sheā€™s incredibly intelligent and i think more people need to read her work
